Leelu Mitten: Teal

Why it caught our eye

French Knot understands that winter accessories can be small works of art. Founded by knitwear designer Lindsay Mason, the collection draws inspiration from vintage textiles, imaginative color combinations, and the beauty of traditional handwork.

Each design is brought to life by skilled women artisans in Nepal, whose remarkable knitting and embroidery techniques give these pieces their distinctive character. The company follows fair-trade principles and pays its artisans a living wage—an admirable commitment to the people behind the craftsmanship.

We love French Knot for its wonderful balance of warmth, artistry, and personality. These are not ordinary winter accessories, but beautifully considered pieces that can transform a simple coat and make even the coldest day a little more interesting.

A traditional pattern with an unexpectedly lively point of view. The Leelu mittens take their inspiration from vintage Estonian knitwear, then give it a bright, modern personality with floral motifs and rich teal color. They're the sort of winter accessory that can make an ordinary errand feel just a little more festive.
